Ask Siri how to say something in another language

Quick answer

"How do you say thank you in Italian" and Siri speaks and shows the translation. Name the phrase and the target language. Ask for the phrase back — "say it again" — to catch the pronunciation, or open Translate for a back-and-forth conversation.
